Application filed June 5, 1925. Serial No. 35,116.

,The invention relates to a glove construction, and more particularly to a reversible glove.

The primary object of the invention is the provision ofa glove of the character named, wherein the thumb stall or section is of novel form and is connected with the body otsaid glove, so as to permit freedom of movement of thethumb of a hand when placed within the glove on the wearing thereof, irrespective of which hand the glove is on. 7

Another object of the invention is the provision of a glove of the reversible type, wherein the construction thereof in its entirety is of novel form, with a minimum number of seams, and but few parts or sec tions.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a glove of this character, where- I in the thumb and finger stalls of the same are of such construction to permit the neat and smooth fitting of the glove to either hand of a wearer, the finger stalls being integral with the body of said glove, which includes the palm and back sections.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a glove of this character, which is simple in the construction and make up thereof, strong, durable, and inexpensive to manufacture.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1, is a plan View looking toward one side of the glove constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2, is a similar view looking toward the other side of the glove.

Figure 3, is a fragmentary perspective view looking toward the thumb stall, showing in detail the manner of connecting it with the body of the glove.

Figure 4, is a sectional view on the line l-4t of Figure 1.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, in detail, A, designates one side section, and B, the other side section, of the glove, both sections being indentical to each other. Each section A, and B, is made from a single piece of material, preferably leather, although the same may be made from any suitable n'ia'terial as the occasion may require.

The sections A, and B, are cut into to provide finger portions 5, (S, 7, and 8, respectively, to cover the index, middle, third. and

little fingers of a hand. Located between the index, middle and little finger portions of the sections A, and B, are ()XlIGllSl-Ol'l gussets 9, which are marginally connected to the adjacent edges of the portions 5, (3, 7, and 8, through the medium of stitches 10, the gussets 9, being of a length to terminate removed from the tips of the finger portions, and the stitches 10, continued about these tips 11, to join the ends of the portions together, as will be apparent.

The stitches 10, at the little linger portions 8, are carried marginally rearwardly to unite the sections A, and B, together at the outer edge of the body of the glove, while the stitches 10, at the index finger portions 5, are carried rearwardly marginally to a point slightly inward with respect to the crotches of the fingers of a hand.

The thumb stall 12, is made from a single piece of material folded on itself at 13, and united marginally by stitches 14-, at the tip and outer edges, the stall 12, being tapered outwardly and rounded at 15, at the outer edges of the same.

Arranged between the thumb stall 12, and the adjacent sections A and B, of the glove body at the usual thumb stall opening therein, are gussets 16 and 17, respectively, each being tapered from a medial point to its outer ends. These gussets are reversely disposed relative to each other and are arranged edge to edge next to one another. The meeting edges of these gussets 16 and 17, are joined together through the medium of stitches 18, while the gusset 17, is joined to the inner open end of the stall 12, throughout its adjacent edge by stitches 19, and the gusset- 16, is united to the respective sections A, and B, throughout the thumb stall opening by stitches 20.

The gussets 16 and 17, in their arrange ment allow the required fullness and an ac cordion action at the quirk, so that the thumb of the hand wearing the glove will have free movement, irrespective of which hand, either right or left hand, the glove is on, the seams of the gussets being continnous and encircling the inner portion of the thumb.

A Wrist portion 21, is attached to the in her open end of the glove. body through which the hand is inserted therein.

lVh-at is claimed is:

1. A glove of the character described, comprising similar opposite sections having linger portions, gussets between the sections and coextensive with the linger portions to provide stalls tor the index, middle, third and little lingers 01" a hand, a thumb stall having a longitudinal seam only at its outer edge, whereby the quirk area of said s t-all is unbroken, and tapered gussets between the inner end 01 the thumb stall and said sections and connected thereto, the gusseta being reversed to have their wider portions on opposite sides of the thumb stall.

2. A glove of the character described, comprising a body formed With similar opposite sections having finger portions, a

thumb stall having a seam only at its outer longitudinal edge, and a plurality of tapered gussets arranged between and connecting the thumb stall and body of the glove, the gussets being reversely positioned relative to each other and continuous about said stall to encircle the inner portion of the thumb of a wearer of the glove.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
